Yes it does, it says the full version takes precedence. So if they disagree, in that HTML5 says "the marchingBand element must launch a group that includes 76 trombones" while the authoring version says "the marchingBand element must launch a group", apparently allowing you to skimp and only have a pair of trombones, the full spec version is the one that is "right". cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.com
